Even Death Metal Monsters Love Cookies
You're more or less right about Inquisition, however I need to point out that they're two of the coolest dudes ever. Seriously, their new album was just...wow.


Also, for all my southern friends, my friends booked this sick as hell Southern Darkness Fest.

Just noticed the Metal Alliance Tour is at House of Blues in Dallas this Friday. Behemoth, GoatWhore and 1349? Yes please. I'm not familiar with the other 2 acts, but going by the promo photos, Inquisition is grimdark frounyface early-Immortal worship, and Black Crown Initiate will be beardariffic stoner rock. I'm at work and they block streaming radio type stuff, how close am I?

As noted above you're right about Inquisition and I'd also like to add that they're completely amazing. I've never seen two dudes make so much sound.

Black crown initiate is opethy stuff complete with that part where all the instruments cut out except some plinky clean electric guitar and they feed Mikael's the dude's vocals through that "telephone" effect and then WHAMMO riff and blast city with growly vocals.

e: more mid-period Immortal, really

I'm going to see this tour next week mainly for Inquisition, but I'm staying for Goatwhore and Behemoth because A) Goatwhore never puts on a bad show. B) Behemoth's new album kicks all kinds of rear end (SATAN > CANCER).

I know nothing of Black Crown Initiate.

If you ever have a chance to see Inquisition, do it. Their live shows are ritualistic.
Also they have some of the best riffs of any black metal band.

I might stick around for Behemoth, too. But Inquisition are, like, essential.

Sweet, thanks for the replies. I like to poke fun at the :black101: bands, but all the best ones poke fun at themselves too so I figure I'm in the clear there. Immortal's Heart of Winter is one of my favorite 90s BM albums so if Inquisition is anything remotely similar to that I'm now looking forward to them as well. This gonna be a good show :rock:

Behemoth also never puts on a bad show and BLOW YOUR TRUMPETS, GA-BRI-ELLLLLLL :black101:

Nergal is the loving man, his stage presence is un-loving-believable.

I'm going to the one in Worcester, MA, which (as it is piggybacking on the New England Metal & Hardcore Festival*) also includes Born Low, Carnifex, Carnivora, Colin of Arabia, Cruel Hand, Erra, Fire and Ice, Fit For An Autopsy, I Declare War, Lifeless, Malfunction, Reflections, Slapshot, Suburban Scum, The Acacia Strain, The Mongoloids, Thy Art Is Murder, Warhound, Whitechapel, and Within the Ruins.

Some of those I've never heard of and a couple I almost certainly won't give a gently caress about, but as long as I get to see Inquisition, Goatwhore, 1349, and Behemoth I will be a happy man.

* A lot of times one day of the festival has a major tour riding on it. Last year it was Paganfest USA and I met Heri Joensen from Týr in the lobby and most of Ensiferum in line for the men's room.

e: YouTubed some of them. Fit For An Autopsy is pretty cool atmospheric blackened death, Thy Art Is Murder is chugga chugga deathcore with some seriously brutal vocals, The Mongoloids are straight-edge hardcore...

Show's got something for everyone, it looks like.

That or the Mantas demos. Also Repulsion and Death Strike's demos. Sepultura's first ep came out just a few months after Seven Churches.

I asked this over in the "Where should I start with x?" thread but have yet to get a response so I figured I'd ask here. Where should I start with The Meads of Asphodel? I see on Metal-Archives they're compared pretty favorably with Sigh (who I love) so I'd like to check them out, but they've got a bunch of albums and all of them seem to be held equally in high regard.

I've only heard The Murder of Jesus the Jew and while I think it tries to do a bit too much, it mostly succeeds. Since you love Sigh you'll recognize their vocalist immediately, he had a big guest role in In Somniphobia.

Yeah, I saw that Metatron had a couple of guest spots on Somniphobia, and Mirai and Mikannibal apparently appear once or twice on Murder of..., so that should be interesting. Thanks for giving me some direction.

Let's talk about where you're going.
Cross-postin' from the bm thread:

quote:

Century Media has announced the ultimate box set (anthology) of ULVER. This release will present the formative (metal) years of Ulver, and its title is Trolsk Sortmetall 1993-1997.

It will contain the albums Bergtatt (1994), Kveldssanger (1995) and Nattens Madrigal (1996), collectively known as The Trilogie – Three Journeyes Through The Norwegian Netherworlde (released under this title as a 1000 limited edition triple picture vinyl box set in 1997).

Additional contents will be the band’s rudimentary but legendary demo tape Vargnatt (1993) plus the rare compilation track ‘Synen’ (Cthulhu Records 1997) as well as a recently unearthed 4-track rehearsal recording of tracks from Nattens Madrigal, which have been a well-kept secret until this very day.

With the exception of Nattens Madrigal, which is still the ferocious sounding black beast it always was, but now has a slightly more compassionate re-mastering courtesy of Tom Kvalsvoll at Strype Audio, Oslo, all the material has been carefully and considerably re-mastered to analog tape by Jaime Gomes Arellano in Orgone Studios, London and consulted by Ulver’s mastermind Kristoffer Rygg.

Mark Pilkington, of Strange Attractor Press UK, will be supplying liner notes offering a hermetic look into the early history and histrionics of Ulver, whilst Jon `Metalion` Kristiansen, author and publisher of Slayer Mag and founder of Head Not Found Records (where Bergtatt and Kveldssanger were originally released), will write his personal reminiscence about his relations with this massively influential band.

Trolsk Sortmetall 1993–1997 will be released as a brazen 5-CD box set with a canvas-bound slipcase and 100+ page booklet as well as a 4LP box (plus cassette). The entire layout will be done by Metastazis, Paris, who has previously worked with Ulver and has for this design been given access to lots of never before seen archival material.

With a total playing time of nearly three hours, Trolsk Sortmetall 1993-1997 is bound to become an essential epitome documenting the nascent days of these Norwegian (black) metal luminaries.

Important note from Century Media: “As many of you might have noticed, the albums Bergtatt and Kveldssanger have recently been bootlegged on vinyl, allegedly by two European labels (one from Belgium, one from the Netherlands). Those bootlegs both look and sound sub par. We highly advise you not to spend a single penny on any of those rip-off releases. If you are one of those who have been waiting patiently for these classic albums to finally get released on high quality vinyl, please wait for a few more months and get the definitive official editions instead, fully supported by the band. We guarantee you good things come to those who wait!”

Complete details to follow.

e: More crosspostin'

Guess this is the year of the re-issue.


CD only.

At least the alternative mix of Emperor will be cool. Remasters are rarely ever worth it, unless the mastering in the first place was just that loving bad, and there's usually very little chance a modern master won't be loud as gently caress.

Ulver started off into ridiculous artsy territory (which isn't a bad thing, mind you) around the time they did an album whose lyrics were the entirety of William Blake's Marriage of Heaven and Hell.

Most of the stuff from that time period on is pretty hard to classify but it's heavily electronic. Heard good things about Blood Inside, Shadows of the Sun, and Messe I.X-VI.X, though.

Bergtatt closely resembles bands like Empyrium and Agalloch, Kveldssanger is a folk album, and Vargnatt and Nattens Madrigal are closer to traditional black metal.

Nattens Madrigal is probably the worst (MOST TRVE KVLT) recording I've ever heard, which sucks because the music is awesome. If you can't deal with it definitely check out Bergtatt. I've been trying to accept Nattens Madrigal as it is for so many years now but it's there's too much loving static.

I always thought it was hilariously self-aware and very Garm, because every time you get acoustic guitars kicking in, like at the 1:02 mark in "Hymne I - Wolf and Fear", they're perfectly recorded and perfectly mastered.

You've got it backwards, it should be good because of the production, but it's totally unmemorable crap like everything else Ulver have done.
